Lots of rumors in last day or two about the next refresh of Macbook Pro. As per the rumor mill:1. MBP will have a complete redesign with SSD (Solid State Drive) similar to the current Macbook Air.2. No optical drive3. Will have Intel Light Peak to connect peripherals4. More reliable as no moving parts, faster due to SSD instead of Hard disks, more efficient power consumption and so on.Boy, I never knew Mac world is whole new dimension away from Windows world. Never seen such buzz about a Windows model :) Seriously, I hope these rumors don't belong in the tinfoil hat territory.If any of these rumors is true, what about the price? Will Uncle Jobs jack up the prices? Lots of rumors in last day or two about the next refresh of Macbook Pro. As per the rumor mill:1.

Microsoft's Word rewritten for Apple's computers still SUCKS. The world of computer geeks needs an immaculate program, not something stitched together from CPM crap.

It definately needs one. Intel Core 2 duo for a 1200 notebook is ridiculous.

Ugh, no optical drive!? How am I supposed to watch DVD's, play my games or upload music!? Those aren't extinct yet!

Finally I did my homework by doing enough hands on test on both the Toshiba Portege R705-P41 and Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 ghz.

i have a 17 inch Macbook Pro(think its the 2nd most recent generation) & a new 15.4 inch Macbook Pro. (i dont need both so my neice gets the older one for school). I love them both! The main difference (to me at least) is the new one has a much brighter crisper display. A problem tho is a little reflection from the illuminated keyboard on the glossy screen. Not a dealbreak but annoying. Still not sure if i prefer the new b/w design or the old all silver. Well thats personal taste of course. Oh & the keyboard is softer(thats good!) to the touch onthe newer one. I think youll be happy with either&(as Macs are so pricey) maybe go with the older if you get a good deal! hope this helps, jon

This was bought for my daughter. She got Mac from her college. I like smaller laptops (11-12 inches). I am actually selling one with Office 2013 loaded on it. You cannot go wrong with this one.

Please be specific. What is the model 1466? You know but many people don't know what it mean just like me even though you shown the pix. By the way, it is only fit on Apple laptop 13" screen. That is all I know.

If you haven't discovered yet, you should be looking at the macbooks with a "/b" appended to the model number. These are listed separately at amazon and have the latest software and cpu. An example would be MB061LL/B.

Ivy Bridge processors are coming out in a few days. They will hit Macs in June/July.I was considering an all-in-one but I'll wait for the refresh. Who knows, I might go for a Macbook Pro instead.

It's the early 2013 retina version. More info can be found here https://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-i7-2.8-15-early-2013-retina-display-specs.html

Apple will probably announce a new MacBook Pro at Macword in mid-January, but the new model will probably not be any cheaper. I also doubt that prices on the current model will drop much once it goes on closeout.

Since they have i3, i5, and i7 in their new MacBook Pros, they will more than likely have the i3 or i5 in the Mini. I don't see the price dropping on this model since the prices for their other products have remained the same.I haven't seen the sales numbers on the Mini or Air...I just can't see many of them being sold since the computer market is being changed with the tablet style machines.

Canon says that the G1 is not the successor to the G12. So it looks like they are planning some sort of refresh of the G12 (and they should). What that will involve and when it will come out remains top secret, apparently. Canon must be taking a page from the Apple playbook on this....

haha go ahead and vent :)If I were you I would just wait. But dont buy the AppleCare for your 80gig. Just use it till it dies and isnt covered by warranty, and get whichever new one comes out. However next time check out macrumors and they have a buying guide, it shows you the past "update" history of the various mac products and gives you a small bit of advice on wether to buy or not. I'm going to stick with my 30gb for now too. Maybe give it to a family memeber later and buy a new one later :)

I placed mine on May 8th, but haven't seen mine ship yet. Could anyone whose MacBook Pro 17" has shipped please let us know when you ordered it?

1) They haven't updated Amazon, the only retailer, with the 960GB Model yet. 2) You cannot use a 2013 MacBook Air with it as Apple has changed from a SATA Based SSD to a PCIe Based SSD. 3) The size of the model doesn't matter, this SSD is only for Mid 2012 MacBook Airs both screen sizes.

Thanks so much for the confirmation, Michael.I also found a review on Amazon of AppleCare (for the Macbook Pro) that had an interesting point. On May 12, 2007, JOACHIM said in a review that when he registered the AppleCare for his Macbook Pro purchased through amazon, the expiration date was 3 months earlier than he expected based on his purchase date. Upon calling Apple, he found out that the AppleCare start/end dates are based on when Amazon purchased the computer from Apple - not when you purchase the computer from Amazon. I think it's something good to know in and of itself, but for the purposes of this discussion, it also shows that Amazon's stock of Macbook Pro's may be as much as 3 months old or more...
